Dear @thebehemoth, I want to port my text adventure that was made with Actionscript 2.0 but looks like it was made with BASIC to modern consoles because I think kids are finally ready to have the crap text-parsed outta them properly. Any advice?

I def never shoulda canceled my subscription to The Journal of The Cheat Science and Medicine. The yearly 'Skelebratory Skelebration' issue was always full of... Salmon. Y'know, after I used its pages to wrap salmon in them.

This Tweet is a reply to @Game_Overture, who replied to the previous Tweet with the diagram of The Cheat's physiology, noting the names of the "tube" and "face bone".

Fun Facts

Yes! It is truly grab bag style! Bubs pokes whoever is pulling shirts for him (90% chance of Strong Sad) in the eyes as they do it so they don't know what shirt they just packed. Check that link for more boring info!

This Tweet is a reply to @Riffcoms, who replied to the Mystery Shirt Sale Tweet asking if there's a chance of two versions of the same shirt being shipped if more than one shirt is purchased.

Do you wanna watch seemingly disinterested people mostly avert their eyes during a live performance of Quickstart Overview from @JoCoCruise 2019? Well thanks to @philster27, you totally can! Thanks man!

More Kickcheatery! Board game wizard @cheapassjames (who designed Trogdor!! The Board Game with me) is making a book about the 100+ games he made with @cheapassgames! Pledge it on strong! Last hours an allat!

This Tweet links to the Kickstarter page for Cheapass Games in Black and White

Everything still looks good for shipping in June as of this moment. But yes, exactly when you get it will depend on where you live on the planet plus it's gonna take a minute to ship out those piles and piles.

This Tweet is a reply to @mrbudha, who replied to the previous Tweet and asked when backers would receive their copies of the game.

Once the 24,000 backers of the Kickstarter get their copies, we'll sell the leftovers in our online store. But you know how leftovers are, just pour a buncha gravy on em before you microwave and they taste just as good!

This Tweet is a reply to @AMisStewart, who asked where to buy the Trogdor board game.

Pre-orders are closed for now but we will have copies available for sale in the Homestar store later this summer after all the Kickcheater backers get their copies. Have but a little patience, my friend, and burnination shall be yours!

This Tweet is a reply to @alternateshade, who replied to the EP Tweet and asked if preorders being disabled meant that the game was impossible to purchase.

Even the best rulebooks need some audio-visual aids! So we cut an entire EP of songs about the rules of the Trogdor board game! Tracks by me, Coach Z, Limozeen, sloshy, Taranchula, Brainkrieg, and more! Go listen the crap out of it! http://homestarrunner.com/rulebookEP.html

It's like the evolution of Dangeresque! First, he was a cool Pom Pom caveman. Then he devolved into his lowest form as Homestar. Then he, um, turned into a logo for a while. THEN he reemerged as a much more advanced life form as The Cheat until finally perfecting himself as ME!

This Tweet is a reply to @stomper1232, who shared a bedroom mural featuring Pom Pom, Homestar, the Homestar Runner logo, The Cheat, and Strong Bad in his Dangeresque outfit.

Whoa! Didn't mean to scare the aspect ratio faithful out there. Don't worry. I can't be bothered to change the seemingly arbitrary default document size and frame rate that's been the same since Macromedia Flash 4.

Don't worry, I'm WAY too lazy to actually do something like that. Besides, in EVERY email you would now see Homestar standing over there "behind the black." No way am I givin away that much screen time! I'm not runnin a country club, y'know!

This Tweet is a reply to @ColinMcInerror and @batbrain1998, who responded to the Exaggerations Tweet expressing concern over Strong Bad Emails changing aspect ratios.

That one was lost for a long time and I just recently found it on a dusty beige hard drive that only works if you plug a parallel port into a 4-pin firewire while blowing into an old Sega tape (Joe Montana Sports Talk Football, I believe)!

For those asking for a dvd or blu-ray re-release, have some old PREMIUM bonus content from the early aughts to tide you over until such time as I get off my shiny keister and change the aspect ratios of all my old sbemails.

Video Transcript

STRONG BAD:{reading} Hey there Strong Bad! I think your dream robot should have a pom-pom-pom. Also, you should have a computer designed for its role in society. Matt, North Dakota. Again, you're really tipping your hand here, Neural Network. Both mentioning robots and then kinda demanding that computers should have roles in society. What kind of role did you have in mind, Matt? ROBOT OVERLORD?! Are you not happy with your role as a computer that gets fed tons of useless data so it can produce poorly-replicated results that we can all laugh at?

Fun Facts

The email Strong Bad reads is one of the emails from the neural network linked in an earlier tweet, and mentions robots.

{A tiny Strong Bad head is standing at the base of a giant Tandy 400. Zoom out as the room shrinks. The room rotates as a dwarf Strong Bad shoves the Tandy 400 off the table. Strong Bad then reaches to the side and pulls out a massive Compy 386 computer, hoisting it onto the desk.}

Video Transcript

{Strong Sad and Strong Bad are sitting on the couch watching the VCR together. Strong Sad is holding a guitar. Guitar music plays.}

STRONG BAD:{singing} Seeing all the things I've seen. Maybe I should go away for a wine. Maybe I shouldn't smile so much. Uh... he's sharpening his teeth, for everyone... did you really think that you were the only one? Buzzards and dreadful crows. {talking} That's a... that's a different band.

Oh great, @tuneyards. Now Strong Sad is all cheesed at me because I went on the @JoCoCruise and didn't get you to sign this weird album fan art he made. I told him that's several kinds of messed up but he insisted you would understand.

Passengers on the @JoCoCruise, this is what I'm bout to endure so I can come play the Trogdor board game with y'alls on the boat. There is NO WORSE traveling companion than sidewise eyes puppet Homestar! (and possibly Strong Sad's severed arm?!)

Fun Facts

Peoples keep sending me this comic movie website that's all Web 0.0. Lemme just remind all y'alls that Strong Bad unironically made an awesome/terrible website a million years ago with way better gifs and a proper broken hit counter. homestarrunner.com/sbsite

I'll start calling Telltale's now-empty offices and see if I can get the rights to make a Switch port. "Yes, hello, Cap'n Telltale? If I'm allowed to port SBCG4AP to the Switch then just sit there, say nothing, and be a defunct business entity." "..." "Great, thanks!"

I'm happy for you and everything but you'd best not attribute that quote to me! That's some Strong SAD syllabic garbage you're quotin! From when he was hopped up on caffeine-free coffee substitute! I can ALWAYS remember my (tape) legs!

More like shoulder pads. We have to run a thick metal cable through the neck of his turtleneck sweaters to get them to stay in place so he can see and eat Decemberween brunch (the only time he wears turtlenecks).

'Member the explodey collar app? If your device doesn't go into lockdown when it sees a Flash file, then have a go at it yourself! Can be very cathartisfying for those stuck at computers all day. homestarrunner.com/kotcollar.html

Fun Facts

The remote control collar head explosion game was first introduced in the Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Developer's Blog.

Not true! Pretty sure he had nothing to do with this particular track. Though Jared is responsible for all the music in the #1 Slow Jam 'Food-Related Love' as well as a buncha other musical awesomeness.

While we're on the subject of SBCG4AP, here's a little forgotten protest gem from the end credits of Episode 2. It's as if that song One Tin Soldier left its keys in a taxi and this song is the gross leather keychain from someplace in Arizona!

Video Transcript

{The Stave It Off Guy is sitting on a stool, strumming a guitar. The words "Justice Combo Meal by Stave It Off Guy" are in the corner}

SINGERS: Come on, everybody, now, can't you hear the wind blow?

{The words "just listen" fade in, then later fade out}

SINGERS: We don't like the King of Town making people's heads explode! What's the price of freedom, man? Can you cut me a deal? A crate of wholesale liberty, or a justice combo meal?

{The words "there's only this looping animation" fade in, then out}

SINGERS: So gather 'round, short children. Listen to what I sing. Remember those who went to waaaaar... all for creamy dings.

{The words "nothing else to see really" fade in, then out}

SINGERS: Come on, everybody now, can't you hear the wind blow? We don't like the King of Town making people's heads explode!

STRONG BAD: My head!

{The words "oh, except for this:" fade in, then out}

SINGERS: So come on, everybody now, can't you hear the wind blow?

{Close up on the Stave It Off Guy's mustache}

SINGERS: We don't like the King of Town making people's heads explode!

{A pair of yellow eyes open on the mustache, and a single tear wells and drops off}

Ah yes, @The_BaconStrip, the slip cover dvd release. I think they might have put just a liiiittle bit less effort into that one (backwards Homsar, backwards Coach Z, ripped-from-a-swf Strong Mad complete with weird Flash masking issue on his mouth).

For those asking about a physical release of SBCG4AP, there was a very brief one for the PC version! It had this awesome reversible cover with hidden Videlectrix goodness (with amazing 2600 art by @markdarin I believe?).

Woah, the haiku is totally just a coincidence! It's actually a reference to a common early 2000's virusy spam email that would try to get you to open the attachment with the enticing phrase "so cool a flash, I thought you would enjoy it!" So enticing!

Let's make a new game entirely! How about a Dangeresque game that's like that cute Animal Villagetown game 'cept with crime and murder! Instead of bringing giraffes hip tanktops and modern sofas you bring perps hard justice and sweet vengeance!!

To be clear, these are NOT the official munchies of the CGNU dorms. That honor goes to Cheap as Free Food Service's Potato-Glanced Puffed Salt Dries. (yes, they are trying to pass off a 'dry' as a type of snack medium) Available in ranch and thrice-ranch!

Not sure why I deleted this awesome line and easter egg from sbemail208. Maybe because I didn't want to get in the middle of the "looptie-loo vs. looby lou" debate. Trust me, you do NOT wanna kick that hornet's nest!

Video Transcript

STRONG BAD: Sincerely, Mollie B. Chowderworth Gruelmanger. Y'know, of the Puntington Farms Gruelmangers. Now you sound like an important adjacent historical figure! She's the lady that discovered going looptie-lie! It used to just be looptie-loo! And Saturday night wasn't even involved!

Sorry @Lin_Manuel, I chickened out on screaming "It's over!" at the end of your performance. Instead I butchered the lyrics to your styles!

Video Transcript

{In front of a building where the promotional image for the Hamilton musical is prominently displayed. Zoom out. The Strong Bad plush doll pops up.}

STRONG BAD:{rapping} I'm Strong-Lawrence in the place to be! Two pints of Cold Ones but I'm workin' on three! Do what I do, professionally, but to tell the truth I am exactly what I want to be... {stops rapping} Oh. I mixed up my hip hop styles.

Check out this old dvd intro previs nightmare! Why does Homestar look like he's got a wireframe cheek fulla chaw?

Video Transcript

{The Everybody! Everybody! song plays throughout. A pre-rendered grayscale of the words "Homestar Runner" are onscreen. A prerendered wireframe Homestar Runner strolls past the word "Homestar" from right to left, then scrolls across the word "Runner" from left to right. Halfway through the word, the camera focuses on Homestar from teh front. He flips the letters of the word has he passes, and the final letter converts into an h*r logo. Homestar fills the screen.}

{Cut to Homestar's wireframe feet. Then cut to Homestar's wireframe face in front of the website intro. Homestar moves off-screen as a round wireframe ball comes into view. Zoom in on the ball.}

{A wireframe Homestar Runner is strolling along the outside of the wireframe ball past some wireframe hills. Zoom in closer on Homestar. Blue ovals and red squares pass him by.}

Join puppet me + humans Mike, Lucky Yates, and Ryan Sterritt tomorrow night at 8pm EST for a livestream playthrough of Trogdor!! The Board Game. Against my better judgement, I will crowdsource all my moves in the game from chat suggestions! live.kickstarter.com/homestar-runne ...

I'm a day late, but as you can guess, the Announcer is pretty bummed at the passing of Mean Gene. He took inspiration from Gene's ability to stay calm in the face of sweaty, dinosaur tranquilizer-fueled rants.
